A Florida man accused of fleeing a hit-and-run crash in Palm Beach County allegedly told police officers they had no authority to arrest him because, he claimed, he “worked for President Trump.”
According to a probable cause affidavit from the North Palm Beach Police Department, officers arrested David Michael Scarlott, 34, of North Palm Beach, late on October 19, 2025, after responding to his home following a crash in nearby Palm Beach Gardens.
